I can't really make sense of what happened from your post. I've never had trouble in first gear with VDC off. Did you leave your foot on the clutch pedal without realizing it, spin the clutch then drop it, causing traction loss? Regardless, no offense man but if you're that inexperienced then your first mistake was even driving a 370...

Uh oh... another "don't VDC off or you could dead" story. :facepalm:

In all seriousness though OP, glad you are alright and only the car was damaged. At that low speed it could have been some loose dirt/gravel/oil on the road + cold tires like others have said. Always be mindful of road surfaces. You should never take driving for granted (yea we are all guilty and do it on a daily basis).

Hello everyone this is my first time posting things on the site but i'm an avid reader and stalker of this site... so to my story on 7/31/2011 i was coming from a freinds house i got off the I-805 on university exit, it was a green light i yielded to the opossing cars, except i could not see the car behind the big black tahoe so after the car passed i took the left but i got hit from a civic left front damage which resulted in 14k in damage the car is still in the shop and will be back in my driveway on the 29th, so this accident was my fault because i shoudl have yielded longer but there was no way i would have seen the civic the person i hit said there was nothing I could do so from now on to prevent this from happening is I am very cautious when making turns on green or when i come to a hidden or hards to see intersection...

for pics there in my album i dont know how to put pics in reply yet

+1 Cold tires make a difference. I'm sure your not the first to experience this problem so don't feel bad.

I have 2 incidents. First, I scraped the bottom of my front bumper when I went off the road a bit pushing it too hard on a turn. I think the tires got a little wet from driving through some puddles and the back end started to slide out. Managed to straighten it out but ran out of road and had 2 wheels go off the road and into some mud.

2nd time was when I rear ended some lady when she slammed on the brakes in her pickup truck for no apparent reason. :shakes head:

Wonder how long it will take red__zed to reply to this post. Your being timed now Dan! :eekdance:

Ouch, sorry to hear about your crash Doom, luckily no one got injured. You probably had the SRM on as well. When I first got the car and was trying to get used to the power, I had a serious and accidental burned out while taking a turn at a traffic light. I was in control the whole time, the car was still revving though my foot was off the gas. VDC OFF + SRM would do what you experienced.

You shouldn't have turned off VDC especially when you're tired from work. As for the 1-3 mph in 1st gear and a little gas to get to 2nd story, that sounds like BS to me. I think that you just don't want to admit you've done something stupid and it was your fault so you change up on the story.

Just my opinion.

Go buy a beater 240sx to practice the basics before you end up ruining your nice car :rolleyes:
